Get something in the courtyard

Finally, the registration was accepted. Everyone in the family, except Bang Geng, was smiling. They were even happier when Yi Zhonghai came into the house carrying a pound of meat.

Yi Zhonghai held the meat high and said, "I didn't have time yesterday, so I just went out and bought a pound of meat to welcome Banggeng."

When Jia Zhang saw the meat, she treated Yi Zhonghai much better, as if she had seen a relative. "He is an old man, and you spent a lot of money. Give it to me quickly, and I will cook it."

Yi Zhonghai gave it to Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi took a look at it, smiled with satisfaction, gave the meat to Qin Huairu, and asked Qin Huairu to cook.

Xiaodang and Huaihua were really happy. They could finally study openly. If they studied secretly all day, their learning effect would not be good.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about the two people's address. He kept his eyes on Banggeng: "Banggeng, since you are back, then study hard. Try to get into college and bring honor to your mother and grandmother.

You have been a filial child since childhood. I believe that you will not let your parents down."

Bang Geng lived in Yi Zhonghai's house and ate Yi Zhonghai's food, so he couldn't get angry with Yi Zhonghai, so he just chatted with him perfunctorily. He said whatever Yi Zhonghai liked to hear.

Soon, the meal was ready at home.

Now that Bang Geng has grown up, he no longer rushes to eat everything like he did when he was little. He now knows to be humble and give in.

This made Yi Zhonghai even happier, and he kept praising Banggeng for his success. After dinner, they were reluctant to leave the Jia family and talked to Banggeng.

The meaning of the words was all about being filial to parents and elders. He was not stupid, so he did not dare to tell Banggeng that he would take care of everyone in the courtyard. If he really said it, Jia Zhang would scold him and leave.

Xiaodang and Huaihua helped clean up the house, and then hid in the inner room to read books and do test papers. The two of them were in a good mood, and the conversation outside did not affect them.

Qin Huairu originally wanted to use the stick to tighten the rope that tied Yi Zhonghai, so she did not stop him.

However, when I saw the two girls studying, I suddenly remembered that the most important task for Banggeng this time was to take the college entrance examination.

"Well, uncle, Banggeng is back. We'll have plenty of opportunities to chat with him in the future. The exams are not far away. Let's let Banggeng study first!"

Yi Zhonghai was talking to his heart's content and didn't want to stop. He even wanted to bring Banggeng to his home so that he could fool people as much as he wanted. But Qin Huairu's reasoning was very fair and aboveboard, so he couldn't stop her.

"Huai Ru is right. Bang Geng, hurry up and study hard. You must make your mother proud."

There is another half-sentence in my mind, which is to let your father show off in the courtyard for once.

Qin Huairu quickly stood up, pulled Banggeng into the house, and said, "Why are you two so busy with yourselves and not reminding your brother to read. Hurry up and get a book for your brother so that he can learn from you too."

Xiao Dang didn't dare to talk back and asked, "Brother, what are you going to study?"

Qin Huairu didn't understand at all, so she said, "Of course he learns whatever you learn. When you were little, your brother gave you all the delicious food he had, so why do you keep it from him?"

Huaihua rolled her eyes and said, "Mom, you don't understand. The college entrance examination requires four subjects. We applied for the liberal arts, and the test content is politics, Chinese, mathematics, and history and geography (history and geography). We only have one set of books at home, so we can only study separately. You see, my sister is studying Chinese, and I am studying mathematics. My brother can study politics or history and geography first."

Qin Huairu was at a loss, so she asked Bang Geng, "What do you plan to learn?"

Bang Geng frowned, thinking that it would be better to chat with Yi Zhonghai instead of reading. Although Yi Zhonghai's words were not pleasant to hear, he didn't have to think about them, which was much more comfortable than reading.

But he had no choice, so he chose history and geography over politics. At least history and geography were more interesting than politics.

He sat next to Xiaodang with a book in his hand, with his back to Qin Huairu and the others.

Yi Zhonghai saw that the children were all reading, so he turned around and left. The two widows were not idle and began to think about how to find a wife for Banggeng.

"You still have to let Bang Geng spend more time with them. As long as those money-losing guys are willing to pay for Bang Geng, it's useless for Wang Kun and Sha Zhu to object. Dong Xu did the same thing when he married you."

Qin Huairu frowned: "Mom, this is so old, why are you still bringing it up?"

Jia Zhang said unconvincedly: "What's wrong with an old almanac? As long as it works, it's fine. Young girls love to be pretty. Our Banggeng Sui Dongxu is tall and good-looking, so he will definitely attract many young girls."

Qin Huairu turned around and glanced at Banggeng, thinking that he looked like an old man now, and it would be strange to tell who he followed. But it was good this way, he didn't have to worry about Banggeng being exposed because of his appearance.

"You're right, alright."

"What do you mean by count? What I said was right."

"I won't argue with you. We can't have arguments in our house during this period."

Jia Zhang also knew that she couldn't argue, so she lowered her voice and said, "Just tell me what I suggest!"

Qin Huairu also admitted that Jia Zhang's idea was good, so she said to the three children, "Xiaodang, Huaihua, when you go to Wang Kun's house, bring Banggeng with you, so that Banggeng can interact more with Xue'er and the others."

The two girls were somewhat unhappy. They didn't dare to accept this task at all. If they accepted it and angered Wang Kun, they would not be able to study with Ran Qiuye. Without someone to teach them, they had no confidence that they could be admitted to university.

"Mom, don't even think about it. Xue'er and the others are enrolled in science courses, which is different from ours. We don't study together."

Qin Huairu was unhappy when she heard this. In her opinion, Ran Qiuye was a teacher and must know which subject to apply for. Since Xueer and the others applied for science, then science is better than liberal arts.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had, you would have reported the same thing as them."

"Mom, you really don't know anything. Science is much more difficult than liberal arts. We can't understand it at all. What if we fail the exam?"

"Just because you can't understand doesn't mean your brother can't understand it either. You've been much smarter than you since you were a child."

The two of them looked at Bang Geng sleeping with a book in hand and wisely shut their mouths. If Qin Huairu saw Bang Geng sleeping, they would not be able to continue studying.

Seeing that the two ignored her, Qin Huairu had no choice. She could disturb her daughter's study, but she couldn't disturb her son's study.

There was no choice but to go back to Jia Zhang and sit with her.

Jia Zhang was sewing the soles of shoes stitch by stitch. When she saw Qin Huairu coming back, she said, "If you don't understand, don't give me any advice. Banggeng can learn whatever he wants to learn. We are all college students, and we will all be cadres after graduation. It doesn't matter what we learn."

"I just want Bang Geng to get to know them more. If they can get settled sooner, our family conditions can be improved."

Jia Zhang sighed, "Don't dream about that. Wang Kun is so smart that he won't be fooled. You've been on leave for such a long time, it's time to go back to work."

Qin Huairu nodded: "I settled Banggeng's residence today, so I didn't go. I will go back to work at the factory tomorrow. Mom, you have to pay more attention to Banggeng's studies."

"understood."

Qin Huairu took Banggeng's clothes and went out to continue using him as a washing machine.

The room fell silent, with only the sound of Xiaodang and Huaihua discussing issues with each other and Banggeng's faint snoring. (End of this chapter)
